But no worries, it’s a very good fight they both fight to not fall in love. Certainly not if she wants to survive their marriage with her emotional faculties intact. And the way he makes Portia feel.is the way she doesn’t want to feel about him. Killion is one of those wispy sigh heroes. Can I tell you how much I loved that their first love scene didn’t drag out into infinity? How utterly refreshing. While that question gnawed away at me, I thoroughly enjoyed the how their romance unfolded. That still didn’t explain her need (or desire?) to marry now. What I was dying to know was why? Why the rush to marry? We learn that Portia was married before and lost a child in childbirth. Yes, what could be better? Love of course, but that’s fairly obvious.
Neither she nor Killion are looking for love, so this marriage is of mutual convenience (sexual and otherwise) without the baggage of emotional ties.
But there are worst things than being married to a young, handsome heir to a marquessate, especially one who is extremely gifted in the arena of the marital bed. Plans change and the next thing Portia knows, she’s marrying her intended’s heir, and what she learns is that she should always read the fine print in any contract she signs. The physical attraction between the two is immediate and visceral. Which is how she’s introduced to his heir and only child, Killian St. Portia is so desperate in fact, she’s willing to marry an aged marquess, whom most people think is crazy. As I read The Viscount and the Viscount, my question was why. Portia Gadstone is desperate to marry…really almost anyone of rank. Because as she begins to fall for her devilishly seductive husband, her dark secrets surface and threaten to ruin them both-unless Locke is willing to risk all and open his heart to love.
Now the sedate-and, more importantly, secure-union Portia planned has been tossed in favor of one simmering with wicked temptation and potential heartbreak. Or so she believes until the marquess’s distractingly handsome son peruses the fine print. The arrangement will offer the protection she needs. as long as inconvenient feelings don’t interfere.ĭesperation forced Portia to agree to marry a madman. A marriage of mutual pleasure could be convenient, indeed. But when his sire arranges to marry flame-haired fortune hunter Portia Gadstone, Locke is compelled to take drastic measures to stop the stunning beauty from taking advantage of the marquess. Viscount Locksley watched it happen to his father after his cherished wife’s death.
